Re: One Sheep to Rule Them All: Fantasy Sheep

Let's get some wrong answers out of the way! Wrong answers are all scored as +6 points.

Legend (1985): not in top 250
T-bone22

Willow (1988): not in top 250
sleepyhead55
Giles

Brazil (1985): not in top 250 (but really really close, and used to be in it)
Rex Power Colt-Robot Man

Spoiler:


Perhaps this player misread the question and though I was asking for the bottom 250? [Admittedly, the poster is pretty awesome]

Sorceress (1982): not in top 250
wishbone

Oh, and how can I forget this one

Spoiler:


Twilight: not in top 250
Kal-El{sd}

Re: One Sheep to Rule Them All: Fantasy Sheep

Surely a movie nominated for 11 Oscars (winning 4 of them) this year wouldn't go unmentioned?

Well done, story!

I just realized that the tree there in that Pan's Labyrinth poster looks like the female reproductive system.

Re: One Sheep to Rule Them All: Fantasy Sheep

The remaining answers come from three popular series: Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. Let's begin with Star Wars. Most think of it as science fiction ... will all of the movies even have fantasy as one of their genres on imdb? [Hint: no, they do not]

Spoiler:
Did anyone pick a prequel?

Spoiler:
Attack of the Clones
devilshalo

Sadly, imdb voters were not impressed by the amazing acting and romance and it does not come close to the top 250. That's a +6 for devilshalo.

How about the original trilogy?

Spoiler:
The Return of the Jedi: +4
bunkaroo
ivelostr2
Obi-Wan Jabroni
the big train

Spoiler:
The Empire Strikes Back: not listed as fantasy, so +6
cnicholls44
rocket1312

I know ... I know. Doesn't seem fair. But that's a chance you took when picking a movie most would consider mainly sci-fi.

And what about the movie that started it all?

Spoiler:


A correct unique!

Star Wars: -1

Damn, I figured POTC would be too sheepy. I guess so did everyone else.

Re: One Sheep to Rule Them All: Fantasy Sheep

I didn't know what the top 250 was. I assumed it was money makers.

Re: One Sheep to Rule Them All: Fantasy Sheep

Let's look at Harry Potter answers:

Spoiler:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is the only movie in the series in the top 250.

Spoiler:
Sadly, that was not chosen in this game.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: +6

Re: One Sheep to Rule Them All: Fantasy Sheep



9. R: Hayao Miyazaki has changed how many think of animated features with his works of fantasy. Name a feature (not a short or series episode) directed by him.
